The U.S. Military Will Announce the Specific Start Time of the "Blockade Iran" Later

BlockBeats News, July 13th, according to AXIOS, reported that on Monday, Trump announced that the U.S. is reinstating a naval blockade on Iran and will prevent any vessel from entering or exiting Iranian ports. He also claimed that the U.S. will charge a "20% fee" for ensuring the safe passage of cargo ships, but the details and seriousness of this initiative are not yet clear.

Due to legal requirements for a 24-hour advance notice to ship owners, the newly reinstated naval blockade has not taken effect yet. A U.S. official stated that U.S. Central Command will announce the specific timing later on Monday.
